A male in the Britisli ]\Iust'Uin from Uganda answers uhII 

 to the descri{)tioti, but has tlie oreatcr part o£ tlie leniora. as 

 well as the tibife and tarsi, ferruginous; the apex of the 

 alidonien is red from themiddleof the third segment. With 

 tliis I associate a female fiom North lUiodesia in uhicli the 

 legs are black, the cakaria whitish, and the abdomen rrd 

 from the base ot the third segment. The submedian cell in 

 tiiis species is slightly longer ihan the median,

I assume that this is the species described by Eadosz- 

 kow.ski, being the only species of the genus with similar 

 colouring known to me. 1 have, however^ seen a specie.s 

 more nearly allied to Plnniceps in which the three apical 

 segments of the abdomen are red in the female ; but this has 

 a tihort clypeus and the tarsal ungues are bidentate near the 

 base, and I do not think it can iiave been mistaken for a 

 Hoinoiiotus. It was taken at Harar.

Long. 4-6 mm. 



? . Clypeus produced over the mandil)les, very broadly 

 ronmied at the apex ; second and third joints of the tlagellum 

 subequal. Front strongly convex, temples y^^ry narrow, the 

 eyes nearly reaching the bind margiii of the head. Posterior 

 ocelli very far apart, about four times as far from each other 

 as from tlie eyes. Pronotum scarcely longer than the meso- 

 notum, mucii broader than long, narrowed anteriorly. Median 

 segment emarginate posterioily, the apical angles produced 

 into stout and rather blunt spines. First and second ab io- 

 minal segments about equal in length, the bas.il iialf of the 

 second dorsal segment lather thinly covered witii very short 

 grey pubescence. Tlie longest calcar of the hmd and inter- 

 nediute tibiae a little longer than the basal joint of the tar.**!. 

 First cubital cell narrowly rounded at the base; submedian 

 cell a little shorter than the median; ihini abscissa of the 

 radius longer than the secjiid ; first recu.ient nervure
